NAPLES - Former Naples High quarterback Kilton Anderson's first offer turned out to be his first commitment.

The 6-foot-3 Anderson, who is transferring to Skyline High (Wash.) this fall, confirmed to the Naples Daily News that he had verbally committed on Thursday to play for South Alabama. The Jaguars offered the soon-to-be senior his first Division I scholarship on March 27.

"I loved the program, the coaches, and the potential to start for four years," Anderson said of the decision. "I loved the campus and the location, too."

Taylor Barton, who has a football academy there that Anderson has attended, had reported Anderson's decision on Twitter.

Last season for the Eagles, Anderson led his team to a regional title after throwing for 1,288 yards and 17 touchdowns, and running for 952 yards and 28 touchdowns on the ground.
